So, Arab-Americans who voted their principles

How are your faces doing today?

Hegseth, Rubio and Huckabee.

That leopard is getting fat.

This demographic's vote puzzles me a bit. Muslims are POed that Biden and Harris failed to restrain Israel. Got it. But if Jooooos were THE issue, Muslims know that Trump is more supportive of Israel than Biden and Harris. E.G. moving the US embassy to Jerusalem.

I wonder whether Muslims looked at the two choices as the same wrt Israel and other issues drove their choice. I realize that Muslims are not a homogeneous lock-step bloc.

Not all Arabs are Muslims. Many are Christians and Jewish.

That is also the reason I switched from Aviation Pro's "Arabs" to "Muslims". Many Muslims are not Arabs, e.g. Persians, Indonesians, Somalis, some Nigerians, etc.. Many non-Arab Muslims do share Arab Muslims' dislike/hatred for Israel.

My evidence-free speculation is that with both candidates' actions wrt Israel being disliked, that issue was off the table and other issues influenced Muslim US citizens' choices. Perhaps the Dems aggressive support of LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ and Trans' agendas?
